To analyze the coordination between land use and the ecological economy in China, ecoefficiency and land use intensity were measured using the nonradial, nonoriented slacks-based measure (SBM) and the vertical and horizontal scatter degree method. The TOPSIS method was then used to comprehensively evaluate regional differences in coordination. Our research indicates that the level of coordinated development between intensive urban land use and the ecological economy in China showed an overall upward trend from 2006 to 2017. The level of coordination was high in Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin and was low in Gansu, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. Changes in ecoefficiency were not consistent with the degree of coordination, and intensive urban land use was positively correlated with the level of coordination, which showed a mutually reinforcing relationship. Improving ecoefficiency is necessary for intensive urban land use, and for ecological improvement, coordinated development between ecoefficiency and urban land use intensity is essential. The establishment of environmentally friendly land use patterns could promote urban land use.

The deterioration of air quality in urban areas is often closely related to urbanization, as this has led to a significant increase in energy consumption and the massive emission of air pollutants, thereby exacerbating the current state of air pollution. However, the relationship between urban development and air quality is complex, thus making it difficult to be analyzed using traditional methods. In this paper, a framework integrating spatial analysis and statistical methods (based on 170 regression models) is developed to explore the spatial and temporal relationship between urban land use patterns and air quality, aiming to provide solid information for mitigation planning. The thresholds for the influence of urban patterns are examined using different buffer zones. In addition, the differences in the effects of various types of land use pattern on air quality were also explored. The results show that there were significant differences between 1999 and 2013 with regards to the correlations between land use patterns and air pollutant concentrations. Among all land uses, forest, water and built-up areas were proved to influence concentrations the most. It is suggested that the developed framework should be applied further in the real-world mitigation planning decision-making process

Danau Toba merupakan danau terluas di indonesia dan sekaligus danau vulkanik terbesar di dunia. Danau toba memiliki panjang 100 kilometer, lebar 30 kilometer dan kedalaman kurang lebih 1600 meter. Desa Sitamiang merupakan sebuah desa yang berada pada kecamatan Onan Runggu, sebuah desa kecil yang memiliki luas sekitar 3 kilometer persegi. Kebudayaan asli masyarakat Batak Toba sangat dapat dirasakan pada setiap sudut Desa Sitamiang. Potensi-potensi yang ada dirasakan layak untuk membentuk Desa Sitamiang untuk  Desa Wisata yang berbasis Kearifan Lokal.Perencanaan peruntukan tanah pada kawasan konservasi dilakukan untuk menjaga kelestarian alam agar dapat dinikmati oleh generasi yang akan datang. Menurut sifat pola penggunaan tanah dibedakan menjadi tanah pedesaan ( Rural Land Use ) dan tanah perkotaan ( Urban Land Use ) perbedaan ini karena berbedanya titik berat peggunaan tanah Pengembangan Desa Sitamiang sebagai Desa Wisata Berbasis Kearifan lokal menunjukkan pengembangan bukan hanya semata fisik bangunan dan infrastruktur saja namun juga pengembangan terhadap penigkatan kualitas sosial budaya masyarakat asli yang ada pada desa Sitamiang. Peruntukan Tanah yang diantaranya adalah pertanian, perkebunan, permukiman dapat disandingkan dengan peruntukan lain seperti rekreasi, komsersil, dan fasilitas pendukung yang dapat meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat. Lake Toba is the largest lake in Indonesia and at the same time the largest volcanic lake in the world. Lake Toba has a length of 100 kilometers, a width of 30 kilometers and a depth of approximately 1600 meters. Sitamiang Village is a village located in Onan Runggu sub-district, a small village which has an area of ​​around 3 square kilometers. The original culture of the Toba Batak people can be felt in every corner of Sitamiang Village. The existing potentials are felt appropriate to form a Sitamiang Village for a Tourism Village based on Local Wisdom. Planning for the designation of land in a conservation area is carried out to preserve nature so that it can be enjoyed by future generations. According to the nature of land use patterns, it is divided into rural land (Rural Land Use) and urban land (Urban Land Use). This difference is due to the different emphasis on land use. The development of the Sitamiang Village as a Tourism Village Based on Local Wisdom shows that development is not just physical buildings and infrastructure but also the development of the improvement of the socio-cultural quality of indigenous people in the Sitamiang village. Allotment of land including agriculture, plantations, settlements can be juxtaposed with other designations such as recreation, commercial, and supporting facilities that can improve the community's economy.
